Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Friday, we'll check him
Speaker 1: with Terry Bradshaw and from First Things First with Fox,
Speaker 1: The Kansas City chiefs apologist Nick Wright will join us
Speaker 1: as well. He'll tell you why the Chiefs will win
Speaker 1: by at least two touchdowns. Super Bowl crowds are nothing
Speaker 1: like normal NFL games. Some real fans can fly in
Speaker 1: and buy tickets, but you know, the stadium is kind
Speaker 1: of sterile. You've got corporate types there for the parties.
Speaker 1: And you know, now that we finally have a team
Speaker 1: playing on their home field, only twenty five thousand fans
Speaker 1: will be in attendance, and of that group, seventy five
Speaker 1: hundred will be vaccinated healthcare workers. It'll be a weird
Speaker 1: vibe at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. And usually they
Speaker 1: get to fire the cannons after the Buccaneers score, but
Speaker 1: the NFL ruled that out. If anything, playing at home
Speaker 1: might be an advantage because the Bucks get to stick
Speaker 1: to their normal schedule, but you don't have that home
Speaker 1: field advantage of sorts and all season long. Home field
Speaker 1: advantage didn't exist in the NFL. Home teams one twenty
Speaker 1: seven and one twenty eight and one. That's the first
Speaker 1: time home teams have finished under five hundred in league history. Now,
Speaker 1: it's cool that Tampa Bay is playing at home, but
Speaker 1: as far as the impact on the game, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure that this will truly be a home field advantage. Also,
Speaker 1: Kansas City has already played there earlier this year. You
Speaker 1: got a factor in that as well. This program brought
Speaker 1: to you by Mercedes Benz Vans. They go beyond from
Speaker 1: their customization options, cutting edge tech, five star sales service,
Speaker 1: financial support crew. Mercedes Benz Vans are built, equipped, and
Speaker 1: engineered to be ready for anything, go the extra mile,
Speaker 1: taking that all important first step into an authorized dealership. Today,
Speaker 1: John and Atlanta joins us. Hey John, Hey John, It's
Speaker 1: a big moment for John and Atlanta. Nate and Oklahoma. Hi, Nate,
Speaker 1: Hey Dan, how's it going again with you? I'm to
Speaker 1: have to thank doctor Fauchi for giving me that built
Speaker 1: an excuse. I told Marvin every year if people ask
Speaker 1: me and I say no, I don't want to. I
Speaker 1: just want to watch it at my house. But with
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw coming up, I had the thought of, you know,
Speaker 1: he's in the Hall of Fame, and I love Terry
Speaker 1: and he deserves me in the Hall of Fame, but
Speaker 1: he would not be in today's standards if he played
Speaker 1: today with his numbers. So they got me thinking what
Speaker 1: sports are the hardest to determine era to era if
Speaker 1: you're looking at him statistically, and then also what's the
Speaker 1: easiest in your opinion? Thanks, guys, have a great weekend
Speaker 1: and ate Well, Terry would be different now. You know,
Speaker 1: the Steelers would have more of a passing offense. You
Speaker 1: have Stalworth and Swan, they would be an offensive machine,
Speaker 1: and you also had the defense. But keep in mind
Speaker 1: you couldn't keep all of these players together nowadays. You know,
Speaker 1: the steel Curtain doesn't stay together. Doomsday defense doesn't stay together.
Speaker 1: You would have players all over the place. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna lightly debunked that caller. Terry Bradshaw on the second
Speaker 1: half of his career was quite the passer. He led
Speaker 1: the league in touchdowns in nineteen seventy eight with twenty
Speaker 1: eight and then he went twenty six twenty four. I mean,
Speaker 1: he had some nice years where it was he was
Speaker 1: a touchdown thrower. Well, you know he was. They had
Speaker 1: so many players. They had a Hall of Fame coach
Speaker 1: had I think the greatest defense I ever saw. He
Speaker 1: had good running backs Franco and Rocky Blyer, Terry did.
Speaker 1: Terry would come up with big plays. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: really what he was asked to do. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman doesn't have great numbers, but Troy would be
Speaker 1: different nowadays the game has changed. You know, Bart Starr
Speaker 1: and Bob Greasy don't have great numbers, but they would
Speaker 1: be different today. The game has changed. You know, even Lombardi.
Speaker 1: Would he be running that powers sweep with Jim Taylor
Speaker 1: and Paul Horning. Probably not. That's why it's hard to
Speaker 1: compare eras because if you start to look at stats,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go that guy's in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: and he did that. I mean, if Patrick Mahomes was
Speaker 1: playing and it was nineteen seventy five, he might have
Speaker 1: twenty five touchdown passes. Just different offenses, different philosophies. You
Speaker 1: played defense and you ran the football. Yeah, McLellan, you
Speaker 1: could even do it within Brady's career because what year
Speaker 1: was it they changed the holding rule where basically Peyton
Speaker 1: complained and they said, you can't mud guys out in
Speaker 1: the field. Then all of a sudden, Brady had fifty
Speaker 1: and Peyton had fifty five, like two years later. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they wanted offense. That's like every sport they want offense.
Speaker 1: Teams bringing in their fences. You want more offense. Every
Speaker 1: sport is looking for that. And the NFL went overboard.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, the NBA, we want offense. Can't put
Speaker 1: your hands on anybody. Watch your game back in the
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties and you'll go, oh my god, you'd
Speaker 1: get away with anything there. You could things that would
Speaker 1: get you thrown out and suspended. That was just play on,
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw said to Jonas. More phone calls coming up
Speaker 1: as well. Eight seven seventy three d P show email
Speaker 1: address DP at dan Patrick dot com. You know, PAULI
Speaker 1: and I were looking at a clip from Terry Bradshaw
Speaker 1: the movie Hooper. Now Hooper's about a stunt man. Burt
Speaker 1: Reynolds was a big deal. This is back in the
Speaker 1: late seventies, seventy eight, seventy nine fun movie. Burt Reynolds
Speaker 1: as a stunt man and Terry Bradshaw's in the movie
Speaker 1: with him, and it was one of those where you're
Speaker 1: going wait. Terry Bradshaw is in a movie and there's
Speaker 1: a bar scene in there and Terry, Terry's got hair,
Speaker 1: that's how long ago it is. But he gets into
Speaker 1: a little disagreement with Burt Reynolds and he gets punched
Speaker 1: in that movie. I don't know how physical that was.
Speaker 1: But Terry Bradshaw set to join us on the program,
Speaker 1: and Terry, let me start with the obvious. How realistic
Speaker 1: was the fight scene in the movie Hooper with Burt
Speaker 1: Reynolds when you got punched the tooth was a piece
Speaker 1: of paper. You know, I had a I did have
Speaker 1: a gap there. I wore a flipper thing because I
Speaker 1: took it out when I played, and I eventually I
Speaker 1: had fixed. But that was a piece of paper. When
Speaker 1: I hit him on the helmet, Um, I really did.
Speaker 1: I hit him the first time and the helmet didn't cracked.
Speaker 1: It's it's free cracked, cracked and glued back. And so
Speaker 1: I hit him the first time and it didn't crack,
Speaker 1: and so Bert said, you gotta really hit me. I said, Bert,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll have to hit you pretty hard. He said,
Speaker 1: just really hit me. So the second time I really
Speaker 1: popped him. I mean I popped him good. And then
Speaker 1: the fight was pretty much that. I dove out a window,
Speaker 1: shattered my right elbow landed on the concrete, I mean
Speaker 1: landed on asphalt. Uh that that that fight scene was crazy.
Speaker 1: It was, I mean it was people are bleeding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good. Well, wait a minute, how did the
Speaker 1: Steelers react to this? They didn't know about it. Trumbo
Speaker 1: busting up the bursa sack and the bones in my elbow.
Speaker 1: They found out about it when blood started draining back
Speaker 1: down in it. And then I told you, I told
Speaker 1: him what happened. But I was fine. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you could have big old blood bubble and the bone
Speaker 1: chips are in there. Sure, sure, yeah, oh no you
Speaker 1: can here. It's that all any day's work. If I would,
Speaker 1: if I would have said, you could have said to Burt,
Speaker 1: you want to change careers like you would have been
Speaker 1: Bird's done Bird's career and he would have changed and
Speaker 1: you would have been a movie star. Do you think
Speaker 1: both would have done it? Well? We always want to
Speaker 1: be something we're not, so I think yeah. He played
Speaker 1: football at Florida State. He would have loved have been
Speaker 1: an NFL player. So I think switching is always very easy.
Speaker 1: I think if you ask a player, I'm a singer
Speaker 1: or I tried to sing, so I would always switch
Speaker 1: places with a professional singer. I'd love to have sung
Speaker 1: like pov Roddy. I mean I would switch in heartbeat.
Speaker 1: He'd be an offensive lineman, though a big man. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I think Burke definitely would have switched
Speaker 1: if I would. If I said you could have switched
Speaker 1: with George Straight, yes, I would have switched. Yes, Who's
Speaker 1: who's uh the person you sang with? Where you went?
Speaker 1: I'm way over my skis here? I did a uh well,
Speaker 1: I never thought that. Okay, if I say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I've a song with the Isaacs, the great gospel group,
Speaker 1: the Isaacs, and boy the can they sing. And I've
Speaker 1: done several shows with them, and I I hold my own,
Speaker 1: I hold my home, my own, all right. I've sing
Speaker 1: on the Grand Old Lottery h four or five times.
Speaker 1: I'm I can sing. I'm not ashamed that stepped up
Speaker 1: in front of anybody. But I did a song with
Speaker 1: Glenn Campbell, and uh, I was nervous. Number one. It
Speaker 1: was Glenn Campbell, but I was so nervous, and it
Speaker 1: turned out really good. Glenn made me sing good, made
Speaker 1: me comfortable. But I was extremely intimidated by Glenn Campbell.
Speaker 1: Give me a little, Witchita Lineman, you gotta you got
Speaker 1: a little for me. I'm gonna do that. You can
Speaker 1: make what you just told me how good a singer
Speaker 1: you are. I don't have a piano here. I gotta
Speaker 1: have a piano to sing really all right, honey, Well,
Speaker 1: I need a piano. Next time I bring a piano. Yeah, hey, listen.
Speaker 1: I sing all the time. When people ask me on
Speaker 1: what is that thing I do? Facebook? Curry Facebook, they say,
Speaker 1: sing a song? I sing? But Dan Patrick, you asked
Speaker 1: me to sing and bear and hodge. I'm afraid I
Speaker 1: would be. I would do poorly and that would upset me.
Speaker 1: I would sing a little, Johnny Cash if that meant
Speaker 1: you would sing a little Glenn Campbell, Okay, let me
Speaker 1: have it. I fell into a burning ring of fire,
Speaker 1: went down, down, down, flames, they went higher, and they
Speaker 1: burns burns the fire ring of fire. What do you
Speaker 1: think that a stubble of is sweet? When art like ours? Meat?
Speaker 1: I felt far you like child? Oh? But the fire
Speaker 1: when while there you go I know, I think it's good.
Speaker 1: I think it's good. That's not how I sing, but
Speaker 1: finish this sentence. I always feel a lot smarter when
Speaker 1: I next to whom you and I was gonna say you,
Speaker 1: I I think I feel a lot. I don't think
Speaker 1: like that number one ever, But when I'm around people
Speaker 1: that think they ain't know football reporters or you know,
Speaker 1: guys like you that know the game, but you really
Speaker 1: don't know how the game is structured and why you
Speaker 1: do this or that. Not that I would ever laugh
Speaker 1: or nothing's ever said that makes me laugh at at
Speaker 1: being interviewed by someone like Dan Patrick. But you know
Speaker 1: that they're doing their best and they know they know
Speaker 1: enough to have a conversation, but they don't really they
Speaker 1: don't really know football, but nor should they. I mean,
Speaker 1: you just can't. You can't possibly know it. But I
Speaker 1: never think I'm smarter than that guy, because normally that's
Speaker 1: not the case. But when did you embrace this persona
Speaker 1: because that you didn't come into the NFL like this,
Speaker 1: I don't think did you? You know? I talked to
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee and he said, you know, Terry is good
Speaker 1: at playing dumb. He's not Um, but but you had
Speaker 1: to embrace this personality at some point. I did you
Speaker 1: fight it? Um, you fight it, and you find out
Speaker 1: early in your career that's a that's a that's a
Speaker 1: battle you're not going to win arguing with writers or
Speaker 1: pouting and not doing interviews. And so I learned really early, Uh,
Speaker 1: the best way for me to get along with you, Dan,
Speaker 1: when you criticize me is to like and like you
Speaker 1: even more because you're doing your job and having an opinion.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying you've done that. I'm just using
Speaker 1: an example. But um, when I when I started to
Speaker 1: embrace it, I found that it diffused the situation. And
Speaker 1: I'm a funny guy. I like to have fun, except
Speaker 1: when I played, I wouldn't giggling and laughing or cutting
Speaker 1: jokes in the huddle. But I just found out that
Speaker 1: life's a lot of a lot easier if people finally
Speaker 1: realize they can't hurt you. And then you say I'm dumb. Yeah, yeah, hey,
Speaker 1: let's go with it. I don't have a problem. They
Speaker 1: don't got a pe degree, barely graduated, but I graduated.
Speaker 1: You know, it's all good. I act crazy, so I
Speaker 1: act a little nuts and I like. I like that.
Speaker 1: I like I am well, I am who I am
Speaker 1: what I am, and so I will never apologize for that.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to act like Tom Brady? I
Speaker 1: would be bored tears if I acted like that. You
Speaker 1: want me to be like Joe Montana. These are people
Speaker 1: I love and respect, not love, but I respect. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, Peyton Manny, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. That is not me. You have to be
Speaker 1: true to yourself and people will like you fart or
Speaker 1: they won't. And I found that humor and accepting the
Speaker 1: dumb image was the best way. It was the safe way,
Speaker 1: It was the easy way for me. Where are the rings?
Speaker 1: The rings are a Louisiana Tech in a in alph
Speaker 1: case propy case right. So players that come through Tech
Speaker 1: will see my jersey and the rings and the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame jacket, and they'll realize that they can come
Speaker 1: to Louisiana Tech, and that too could happen to you.
Speaker 1: So I donated them to the university. You can start
Speaker 1: a team with any quarterback aside from yourself, all time
Speaker 1: Roger Starback. I love Roger Starback, he said the rated Terry.
Speaker 1: Oh he sos. He's just amazing, amazing. We talk about
Speaker 1: Brady and and all he's accomplished, and I had nothing
Speaker 1: but great things to say. But for me, for my money,
Speaker 1: I'm going with starback. Uh, you're doing Freedo Lay with
Speaker 1: a much of a star star Chie Again. You've got
Speaker 1: some big big names in there. It's it's a comer.
Speaker 1: They're doing this one commercial. It's kind of come on
Speaker 1: right before the coin toss and it's a vettus and
Speaker 1: ivery and acting the immacut reception And I crashed into
Speaker 1: the chips and everything on the table and we had
Speaker 1: Joe Montan and Jerry Rice Troy Eateman pops in on it. Um.
Speaker 1: It's pretty it's pretty crazy, but it's fun for you.
Speaker 1: O Lays a great company. I've been doing stuff with
Speaker 1: him for a number of years. And I also would
Speaker 1: add to that there owned by PepsiCo, so have a
Speaker 1: Pepsi while you're doing it. How do that? But it's
Speaker 1: not the immaculate reception though, Terry, Oh it isn't. What
Speaker 1: is it? Well? I thought the pass had something to
Speaker 1: do with it as well. Oh in the commercial you're
Speaker 1: talking about Oh no, I'm marging. Oh no, I'm marguting.
Speaker 1: I was giving a real life credit, right, I'm well in, Yeah,
Speaker 1: someone had to throw that thing and you got to
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta avoid getting sack. You got a
Speaker 1: gun it down there about thirty yards. You gotta make
Speaker 1: sure the other guy hits it with this. Did it
Speaker 1: trenchy when it left Tatum's chest? And did Franco trap
Speaker 1: it or did he catch it? And then we got
Speaker 1: to have an argument, and we got to have chaos
Speaker 1: breakout and yeah, gotta have all that. But I'll started
Speaker 1: with me. I am the Hey, I'm the man you are.
Speaker 1: You are, thanks for spending time. And next time I'd
Speaker 1: be a piano. I bring a piano next time. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you bring the piano in and I'm your man. Thank you, Terry.
Speaker 1: Good to talk to you, buddy. Bye, damn Terry Branshaw.
Speaker 1: You know, I could have had him break down the game,
Speaker 1: but that's not a fun I figured. Yeah. Really. His
Speaker 1: persona is interesting because he said it started in the
Speaker 1: seventies when he was criticized, and then at some point
Speaker 1: he just decided to embrace those who might be critical,
Speaker 1: to diffuse them a little bit, and he uses humor
Speaker 1: every Sunday uses humor. This in from Tom Pellicero covers
Speaker 1: the NFL for the NFL Network, all clear on COVID
Speaker 1: tests for the Chiefs and Bucks today. DeMarcus robinson exposure
Speaker 1: was a day before teammate Daniel Kilgore's, which is why
Speaker 1: he is cleared today. If Kilgore tests negative again, he
Speaker 1: will be cleared tomorrow when everybody gets to play in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yes, PAULI does the NFL learn from
Speaker 1: the World Series and justin turning the Dodgers, and do
Speaker 1: they stop COVID testing at some point this weekend where
Speaker 1: there's no more results to come in, there's no more
Speaker 1: tests to do. We're playing this game, is there? I
Speaker 1: wonder if there's a certain hour on today, Saturday Sunday
Speaker 1: where they say that's it. No one's running in the
Speaker 1: building in the third quarter with you know blank you,
Speaker 1: Jason Pierre, Paul sick because that's what happened with us.
Speaker 1: I don't want to accuse the NFL of doing something
Speaker 1: like this, but if I'm the NFL, unless this would
Speaker 1: come out, that's the only problem that you covered up
Speaker 1: something you made others vulnerable to somebody who attested positive.
Speaker 1: But I guess if I'm the NFL, I test everybody
Speaker 1: on Saturday as well. You don't want to. You probably
Speaker 1: don't want to get the results if there's, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody who's tested positive. But I think you have to
Speaker 1: do it just so that doesn't come back. It feels
Speaker 1: like somebody would find that out at some point. All right, Um,
Speaker 1: let's see we got Nick Wright coming up. What else
Speaker 1: did I have here? Oh? We were talking about Calvin
Speaker 1: Johnson most seasons with at least twelve receiving touchdowns all
Speaker 1: the time, Jerry Rice eight, Taryll Owens seven, Marvin Harrison six,
Speaker 1: Randy Moss six, Chris Carter for Calvin Johnson four. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the other things there. Yeah, he's all of famer.
Speaker 1: I mean that's fine. I don't like, I don't have
Speaker 1: any agenda one way or another with Calvin Johnson. You
Speaker 1: want to put him in great, You want to make
Speaker 1: him late a year? Yeah, club it's hard to name
Speaker 1: a better receiver than him at his peak. Remember that
Speaker 1: one year at two thou like close to two thousand years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, like Brandy Moss, Jerry Rice, There's only a
Speaker 1: few at his peak. Antonio Browny I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he did that short conversation. But was he clearly the
Speaker 1: best receiver during his career? What or two years? Now?
Speaker 1: He was an All Pro three times for somebody who
Speaker 1: is clearly the best? He was an All Pro three times.
Speaker 1: Players talk about him and that's that's two wide receivers
Speaker 1: on that team. So he for three years he was
Speaker 1: one of the two top receivers and then the other
Speaker 1: seven years he was not. He's a guy that players
Speaker 1: worship though he had a huge like you always hear
Speaker 1: young receivers talk about him. Him and Julio are just different. Well,
Speaker 1: I think that you have that nickname too, Mega Trunk. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: Larry john I'm sorry, Larry Fitzgerald to the wide receiver
Speaker 1: has been an All Pro one time in his career,
Speaker 1: but he's made I think ten Pro Bowls. Wouldn't you
Speaker 1: prefer Larry fitzgerald career over Calvin Johnson? Now I've ever
Speaker 1: ring Larry got to play in a Super Bowl and
Speaker 1: almost wanted for them. Yes, he would have probably been
Speaker 1: MVP with that play. Yes, I was in. So he
Speaker 1: gets the ball and he's running, and he's running to
Speaker 1: the end zone. I'm to the left of him at
Speaker 1: about the ten yard line, and you just see him
Speaker 1: breaking through and you realize that might be the play
Speaker 1: that wins the Super Bowl for the Arizona Cardinals. Steelers
Speaker 1: then get the ball and I don't know if they
Speaker 1: even started at their own twenty with Ben And that's
Speaker 1: when I watched the final two minutes with Steve Young
Speaker 1: and Santonio Holmes caught the touchdown pass to win the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Yeah, ple, you're right. Then they took the
Speaker 1: lead there with two minutes and thirty eight seconds left
Speaker 1: when Larry FitzGeralds scored. Fitzgerald actually almost had the tackle
Speaker 1: on James Harrison to end the first half on James
Speaker 1: Harrison's touchdown interception that was one hundred yards, but his
Speaker 1: own teammate on the sidelines got in his way. Correct,
Speaker 1: he had got cut through the silence to get him,
Speaker 1: and he's blocked by his own teammates or he makes
Speaker 1: that tackle. Now, are you allowed to go out of
Speaker 1: bounds as Larry Fitzgerald did on that play and come
Speaker 1: back in the playing field and make the tackle. It
Speaker 1: No flag was thrown, and it doesn't appear that a
Speaker 1: spotted it if you watch the replace as would they
Speaker 1: have had upon a further review reviewing scoring plays, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't reviewable back then. Yes, Ton, I don't know
Speaker 1: if the rules changed since then, But the way I
Speaker 1: understand it, if you if you go out of bounds,
Speaker 1: as long as you make an effort to immediately get
Speaker 1: back on the field, then you're fine. It's when you
Speaker 1: start running down the sidline and sneak your way in
Speaker 1: to make a play, when you're like hiding on the silin,
Speaker 1: they have a problem with it. All right, thank you, Ton,
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. Nick Wright will join us on
Speaker 1: loan from First Things First Fox Sports one and tell
Speaker 1: you why the Kansas City Chiefs will win by at
Speaker 1: least two touchdowns. We're back after this in the Damn

Speaker 1: at three eastern on NBC out there in Arizona. He's
Speaker 1: the popular co host on the popular program called First
Speaker 1: Things First on Fox Sports One. He's Nick Wright, Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs apologist, joining us on the program. Before I
Speaker 1: get what do I have to apologize for? I'm just
Speaker 1: curiously they're apologizing for only on Monday. That's the only
Speaker 1: time you have to apologize. You don't have to worry
Speaker 1: about anything right now, Nick, Okay, okay, don't to worry
Speaker 1: about anything. Nick's going to tell you why the Chiefs
Speaker 1: will win by East fourteen points. Before I get to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, the NBA All Star Game, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to understand that why is the NBA pushing for this,
Speaker 1: and why are the players pushing back so much? And
Speaker 1: how do you think this gets settled next month? Well,
Speaker 1: eighteen hours ago, I would have said the game's unquestionably
Speaker 1: going to happen. And then Lebron broke ranks. Lebrons spoke
Speaker 1: out against it, and it is very interesting when Lebron
Speaker 1: obviously can talk to Adam Silvering, talk to Michelle Roberts,
Speaker 1: he can talk to his good friend Chris Paul, and
Speaker 1: the fact that Lebron spoke out against it so publicly,
Speaker 1: to me, puts the game somewhat in peril. I can't
Speaker 1: you know how much I love the League. I wish
Speaker 1: I could do some more official stuff with the league.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the league is pushing for this
Speaker 1: other than obviously the dollars and the television partners want it.
Speaker 1: And I know that other than is a huge part
Speaker 1: of it. It's what makes the sport go. But how
Speaker 1: much money really is gained from an All Star weekend?
Speaker 1: And are you being as my now deceased grandfather would say,
Speaker 1: pennywise and pound foolish, like, are you grabbing a few
Speaker 1: extra dollars at the expense of other things? I think
Speaker 1: Lebron doesn't want it, particularly because he had the shortest
Speaker 1: offseason ever and he wanted the week golf. And if
Speaker 1: the game is held, Lebron feels he has to participate,
Speaker 1: especially his fans are going to vote him in, and
Speaker 1: so it's a weird spot. But I think the game
Speaker 1: is in peril. Dan, Yeah, Lebron said, look, I'll be
Speaker 1: there physically, but not mentally. I found it interesting that
Speaker 1: dear and Fox, who was having a really good year
Speaker 1: for Sacramento, said I don't want to go. I think
Speaker 1: this is stupid to go. And he hasn't been an
Speaker 1: All Star before, so it's not just Lebron. You got
Speaker 1: players who would really benefit from being on that stage
Speaker 1: for that weekend. The Fox thing is a great one
Speaker 1: to pull, because hey, he's not guaranteed to be an
Speaker 1: All Star be making the All Star team as a
Speaker 1: guard in the West opened up a bit now that
Speaker 1: Harden's gone, But there's a lot of really good players
Speaker 1: who've never made it, and so you would think, especially
Speaker 1: a guy that young and I smile, Darren Fox used
Speaker 1: to play au ball against my son in Houston, and
Speaker 1: I watched him once score thirty eight points in the
Speaker 1: first half of a running clock, twenty minute game. And
Speaker 1: every time I see him, I'm like, Yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: same guy. And for him to even say no, you know,
Speaker 1: what's the point is fascinating because you would think he's young,
Speaker 1: he might feel a little invincible and such a great opportunity,
Speaker 1: and even he's like, I don't know that I would
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it. He's nick right.
Speaker 1: He had an issue with the picture we use the
Speaker 1: last time that he was on. He doesn't even follow
Speaker 1: our show on Twitter or Instagram. He follows over one
Speaker 1: thousand accounts on Twitter, and not one of them is
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show. Somehow. Okay, I've just fixed it.
Speaker 1: Some friend niked, sorry, I follow you on Twitter? Don't
Speaker 1: I do? I not? Will that be the show? I'm
Speaker 1: not on Twitter? Okay, well then I don't. Then I
Speaker 1: follow him poster. They have the imposter's got better takes
Speaker 1: than you. You You gotta have them taken down. I be
Speaker 1: writing from if I'm following the showing up. Hey, don't
Speaker 1: be mad towards me that you didn't do something that
Speaker 1: would be considered maybe a friend of the show. So okay,
Speaker 1: like you're you're you know, you're kind of casting aspersions
Speaker 1: towards another direction. They're taken care of. Okay, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, here we go. All right, So,
Speaker 1: how did the Buccaneers win this game? Two strip sacks?
Speaker 1: That's the starting place. And I know, like everyone's talking
Speaker 1: about this at this point. Chief's offensive line is banged up,
Speaker 1: but everyone is saying they're down two starting tackles. That's true,
Speaker 1: but it's misleading. One of those tackles has been out
Speaker 1: since Week five, so they've been playing without him for
Speaker 1: the last three months. The other tackle, though, Eric Fisher,
Speaker 1: went out last week, which therefore, of course made the
Speaker 1: guy who's filling in for the right tackles slid over
Speaker 1: the left hand side. And the reason that's so concerning
Speaker 1: is it's the last time Mike Rimmers was in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, he was Cam Newton's right tackle and Von
Speaker 1: Miller won the Super Bowl MVP going right through Mike Grimmers. Now,
Speaker 1: Mike Grimmers has played well, and people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had an offensive linemen opt out before the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they went fourteen and one with Mahomes without that guy. Like,
Speaker 1: the offensive line has been banged up all year, and
Speaker 1: they just went thirty eight six on Buffalo. The distinction
Speaker 1: is how much does the loss of Eric Fisher matter.
Speaker 1: I've got to think the Chiefs know that, and they scheme,
Speaker 1: you know, they scheme with that in mind. And while
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense, I made this point this morning, the
Speaker 1: Bucks defense has gone from being underrated, not talked about enough,
Speaker 1: to now all of a sudden, they are being presented
Speaker 1: as if they are the modern purple people leaders. They
Speaker 1: are not that. And so I don't think though there
Speaker 1: is a path for Tampa to win the game that
Speaker 1: doesn't involve a couple of strip sacks on Mahomes. He's
Speaker 1: not going to throw interceptions and the Chiefs aren't going
Speaker 1: to turn the ball over, you know, in other phases.
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think the Chiefs are a
Speaker 1: demonstrably better team. I think they could have won the
Speaker 1: first matchup by thirty points had that been the focus.
Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna see that Sunday. Can Brady
Speaker 1: Elp duel Patrick Mahomes? He can, but it is I'd
Speaker 1: say it's a fifteen percent shot. I mean, listen, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to eat a lot of crow on Brady.
Speaker 1: I was evidently years premature on calling for his demise,
Speaker 1: and he didn't play well a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: in the second half, but he played great the final
Speaker 1: month of the season. He has outlasted these older other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks who keep retiring or playing like they should retire,
Speaker 1: and he's still standing. I do think the only chance
Speaker 1: the Bucks had is to win a shootout. I've heard
Speaker 1: for three years, here's how you beat the Chiefs. Run
Speaker 1: the ball, time of possession, keep Mahomes off the field.
Speaker 1: One team ever has done it, the Colts on October sixth,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, in a game Tyree Kill didn't play a
Speaker 1: Mahomes at a sprand ankle they won nineteen thirteen. Think
Speaker 1: of every other Chiefs loss they've lost because the other
Speaker 1: teams scored forty. The Raiders scored forty this year. The
Speaker 1: Patriots when they beat him in the playoffs, scored what
Speaker 1: was at thirty eight thirty nine the famous Monday Night
Speaker 1: game fifty four fifty one. The Chiefs when they lose,
Speaker 1: it's because you beat them in a shootout. It's not
Speaker 1: because you hold them to fifteen. Is Tampa capable of
Speaker 1: putting forty forty five up against this chief stef ten defense?
Speaker 1: I think, I think it's possible. I do. They obviously
Speaker 1: have the great weapons, and they have a very good
Speaker 1: offensive line, three excellent offensive lineman, one decent one, and
Speaker 1: then one replacement guy who Chris Jones is going to
Speaker 1: be going at the whole game. And the Chiefs don't
Speaker 1: have good corners. They have this rookie gym that they
Speaker 1: found in the fourth round la Jerry Sneed and Honeybat.
Speaker 1: They have good safeties, but they don't have good corners.
Speaker 1: I am curious. Here's a fun little stack courtesy of
Speaker 1: I Think Football Outsiders. The Tampa Bay Bucks this year
Speaker 1: We're the beneficiaries of more yards via pass interference penalty
Speaker 1: than any team in the last twelve seasons, and that's
Speaker 1: as far back as the metric goes. Now. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that Tom Brady happens to get the benefit of
Speaker 1: a lot of calls, including in the NFC. Yes you are,
Speaker 1: Yes you are. I'm just giving you the facts from
Speaker 1: the ground. Nick, you're saying when you say, you're not saying,
Speaker 1: I don't, I'm not saying it. If I was saying it,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I'm not saying it. I am curious, though,
Speaker 1: I think a tightly officiated game favors Tampa. I think
Speaker 1: if you officiate these the Super Bowl the way these
Speaker 1: playoffs have been officiated, which is we're gonna let them play,
Speaker 1: except for, of course, the final play of the NFC
Speaker 1: Championship game, in which case there will be an eight
Speaker 1: second late flag to help Brady a like where then
Speaker 1: I think I think they call it tight. I think
Speaker 1: we good Tampa can move the ball down the field.
Speaker 1: I got one other good set for you. Tampa scored
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns this postseason. Zero have gone seventy five drives
Speaker 1: of seventy five yards or longer. The Chiefs scored seven
Speaker 1: touchdowns this postseason. Six have gone drives of seventy five
Speaker 1: yards or longer. So they're not scoring on long fields
Speaker 1: is Tampa, and so I think that could work against
Speaker 1: them in this game. Where are you watching the game?
Speaker 1: My home by myself, by yourself. My children might be
Speaker 1: allowed to enjoy me. I don't want. I can't watch
Speaker 1: with people. What are you talking about? I'm the same way.
Speaker 1: That's why the fact that you know, doctor Fauci said,
Speaker 1: you know you can't have Super Bowl parties, I'm the
Speaker 1: happiest guy in the building, and I'm like, great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's first of all, in our business, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to talk about this game for anywhere from one week
Speaker 1: to five years. So I kind of want to focus.
Speaker 1: I want to drill down on it. Second of all,
Speaker 1: I made the mistake last year of having two friends
Speaker 1: over to the house for the Super Bowl, and one
Speaker 1: of them had like a fifty dollars bet on the
Speaker 1: Niners and was rooting for it like his life was
Speaker 1: on the line. And I haven't spoken to him since.
Speaker 1: I'll never forgive him for it. You know. The amazing
Speaker 1: part of that is you had two friends, and I
Speaker 1: would have taken the under I would have I put
Speaker 1: I put Nick Wrights friends at one and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let me unfollow the show. Chiefs are gonna win
Speaker 1: by two scores. Dan, Okay, just so you know, all right,
Speaker 1: you can make some money on that. I don't gamble.
Speaker 1: I gambled by having you on. And that's enough. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well for the audience, for the dan X, go make
Speaker 1: some money, all right. If if the Chiefs lose Monday,
Speaker 1: then what time you want to come on? Oh? Whenever
Speaker 1: you want, Dan, I'll be here for you. That's what
Speaker 1: friends do. But there but a better question would be this,
Speaker 1: because if when the Chiefs win Sunday, what what's the
Speaker 1: reciprocity here? What are we doing? You're gonna put a
Speaker 1: little You're gonna replace one of those patches with a
Speaker 1: picture of me. What are we gonna do? How about
Speaker 1: I'll do something I never do. I'll watch your show.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what that was like? That was uncalled for.
Speaker 1: I think that does nothing for me. I thought we
Speaker 1: went to a commercial break. My bad, we're still on PAULI.
Speaker 1: Oh um, I I apologize for that. Nick. That was
Speaker 1: mean spirit, It was mean spirit. If the only way
Speaker 1: I'm coming on is if the Chiefs lose, then I
Speaker 1: guess I'll talk to you sometime in twenty twenty three. Damn.
Speaker 1: I want you to have a great weekend and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, thank you, Nicky. That's Nick Wright,
Speaker 1: co host of First Things First on Fox Sports. On Uh,
Speaker 1: there you go. You got it? Nick gave you guaranteed
Speaker 1: to go wrong. Right. Kansas City Chiefs are winning this
Speaker 1: by at least fourteen points. I think he had him
Speaker 1: by sixteen points. But like he makes great points, and
Speaker 1: I do like the show. Just so people know that
Speaker 1: I love giving Nick grief. He kind of asked for
Speaker 1: grief there. Yes, point, do you guys do the thing
Speaker 1: where the more people overpick the Chiefs more you would
Speaker 1: like to bet on the bucks? Yeah? You know sometimes
Speaker 1: when you you know, ESPN says they're whatever, one hundred experts,
Speaker 1: Like can you have one hundred experts? How about like
Speaker 1: seven people? Like the guy who is the checkout at
Speaker 1: the ESPN cafeteria, Like is he an expert? You got
Speaker 1: you got one hundred experts at ESPN. I'd say let's
Speaker 1: narrow it down five seven? Hen, all right, last call
Speaker 1: for phone calls close up Shop and if you're watching
Speaker 1: on Peacock you'll be able to see an incredible Super

Speaker 1: thinking about you all right. Final results of the poll
Speaker 1: question there mclovan This day in sports history. Man, this
Speaker 1: food is good? Which which would have surprised you the
Speaker 1: most if I told you a year ago, Antonio Brown
Speaker 1: playing Super Bowl runs away with over Brady and Gron
Speaker 1: coming back to considering that legal trouble and he was suspended,
Speaker 1: and you wondered if the behavior on and off the
Speaker 1: field he was sound like he was crazy. And here
Speaker 1: he is, he's going to play in the Super Bowl. Uh.
Speaker 1: Let me get a couple of phone calls in here.
Speaker 1: Phil in New Mexico, Hi, Phil, what's on your mind today? Hey?
Speaker 1: Dan mentioned that it would be plausible that an offensive
Speaker 1: line or defensive line should be awarded the MVP, like
Speaker 1: to point out Super Bowl twelve, Harvey Martin and Randy White. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great point, Phil, Thank you for
Speaker 1: reminding me of that. James in Virginia, James, Oh, good
Speaker 1: morning brother, Happy Friday. Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1: Man were Washington, Oh, man, what are exciting weekend coming up? Man?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna poll two names that you I haven't heard
Speaker 1: you guys say for m VP possibilities outside of the quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say Devin Smith learned after the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers that guy has lightening it up out there.
Speaker 1: And Devin White. That is it? Devin White? Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: Devin White. I'm gonna say you're right. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: you're right. But he hasn't been lighting up like forty
Speaker 1: five is number yeah, number yet five? Yeah, that guy's amazing.
Speaker 1: And the sleepest leaver for me is Clyde Edwards Alaire.
Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about the Chiefs offensive line not being good.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna see a heavy doth to him
Speaker 1: starting out the game. Man, and I've been debating it
Speaker 1: all week, going back and forth. This was an amazing
Speaker 1: super Bowl. Tom Brady ten super Bowls. No matter what
Speaker 1: he does, Man, this guy has cemented his place in
Speaker 1: American sports history. And I think we're seeing something great
Speaker 1: but probably the greatest start to a career with Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes opportunity to go back to back. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs man to win it. Now. I
Speaker 1: really like Brady and I want them to win, but
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to go against number fifteen. Man.
Speaker 1: That guy had just lightened it up before the year.
Speaker 1: I picked your Chiefs over the Packers. So I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: And I'll leave you with this man. Number one go
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl food for me this year, it's Buffalo
Speaker 1: Chicken dip. Have a great weekend, y'all. Thank you, James.
Speaker 1: Always great to hear from James. George in Ohio High George,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Dan, Good morning George. A good interview with
Speaker 1: Sarah Bradshaw. Now, thank you. And you were talking about
Speaker 1: the role reversals, and that got me thinking of something
Speaker 1: that happened many years ago. You remember George Plympton. Yeah,
Speaker 1: George Plimpton, the famous writer Paper Lion. Yeah, he got
Speaker 1: to play quarterback for a couple of plays and h yeah,
Speaker 1: but the lines, yes, and it was made into a movie,
Speaker 1: Paper Lion. Yeah. I was wondering is that something you
Speaker 1: would have entertained. Let's say you were the same age
Speaker 1: as he was at that time, that's something you could entertain. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm still entertaining that, George. Yeah, I'm available. The last
Speaker 1: interview George Plimpton ever did was on this show two
Speaker 1: thousand and three. Hattimon, great writer, This Day Sports History,
Speaker 1: Pauli in oh six of Steelers defeated the Seahawks twenty
Speaker 1: one ten and the Super Bowl XL and Jerome Bettis
Speaker 1: announced his retirement just after the game. The only other
Speaker 1: one is it's actually not that good Oh nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 1: WrestleMania Primetime Network TV. Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant,
Speaker 1: first ever wrestling match in primetime on Network TV, nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty eight, three two one. That was in the Andre
Speaker 1: the Giant documentary talking about how big that was with
Speaker 1: Hulk Coogan. So we got final results of the poll question.
Speaker 1: Let me get to Tony in Chicago. Hey, Tony, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind? Day? But I have suffered through super
Speaker 1: Bowl party after super Bowl party where the game was
Speaker 1: always secondary until I attended one in particular, or I
Speaker 1: discovered the key element and it's not the beer or
Speaker 1: the TV or the food there, but rather the presence
Speaker 1: of a person who's more important than Santa as the
Speaker 1: Christmas and that is having a live bookie there. Never
Speaker 1: in my life have I sat in the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: party with thirty men quietly and nervously sitting succeeded on
Speaker 1: every single play. It was glorious, It was amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: not everybody can get their own Bookie there, Tony, but
Speaker 1: thank you who has the Buccaneers in an upset? Paulie does,
Speaker 1: Seaton does? Back Row is going with Kansas City. I
Speaker 1: didn't say that well, who are you going with? I'm
Speaker 1: pulling your first segment take. Can I pick both? No? No,
Speaker 1: I picked the Buccaneers. No, I know, but you you
Speaker 1: said I liked the Chiefs too, but you kind of
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are a better team. I will not
Speaker 1: go that doesn't mean they win, and I would never
Speaker 1: go against I'd never bet against Brady in a big
Speaker 1: game like this. I think the Chiefs. But honestly, all
Speaker 1: week like, I almost want to do the prop bets
Speaker 1: because it seems like a very hard pick somebody. Okay
